New year, new DIY projects!

Fast forward to several days later where I’m shivering in my thermal socks, dreaming of hot water bottles and feathery duvets. Such is life.
It’s a new year and in spite of the cold wintry weather, DIY is at the forefront of my mind. I have made not one but three new year’s resolutions:
- To get the lounge plastered
- To fit carpets to the upstairs bedrooms
- To build a home office unit
With a bit of discipline and loads of super scrimping, all 3 resolutions should be achievable so we’re getting stuck in to magically transform what was the diner into a super-duper home office.
I’ve
grand plans for this area. My objective
is to build a floor to ceiling home office unit along one wall modelled on a
design regularly featured in a Neville Johnson advert. Wouldn’t you just love to have a home office
like this one?

Naturally we can’t afford NJ’s outrageous bespoke prices, we can’t even afford to employ a bog-standard joiner/carpenter so we’re going to do it all ourselves.
Be prepared to endure the ‘Game of Moans’ saga over the next few months as the other half hates carpentry almost as much as he hates bricklaying.
